JUNCTION

The court heard that the Malaysian, who is a permanent resident, was driving in the rightmost lane of the four-lane Jurong East Central that evening when he stopped at the junction as he wanted to make a right turn.

Ms Chin was then crossing from Ravinthar's right to left, while the traffic light was in her favour.

He made the right turn into Boon Lay Way when the traffic light was still green, without the green-turning arrow, but failed to check if anyone was crossing the pedestrian crossing.

Over the years from 1999 to 2015, Ravinthar had been fined for traffic violations such as speeding, careless driving and failing to obey traffic light signals. He could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for the latest offence.
